Saccharification assays of extractive-free mature stem from Brachypodium wild type and laccase mutants
| Genotype | Weight loss percentage | Glucose (mg g−1) |
|---|---|---|
| WT | 22.4 ± 1.3 | 67.4 ± 2.6 |
| lac5 | 28.1 ± 1.3* | 97.9 ± 5.8* |
| lac8 | 20.4 ± 1.0 | 64.7 ± 0.4 |
| lac5 lac8 | 48.8 ± 0.9* | 160.1 ± 26.8* |
Saccharification is evaluated both by the weight loss percentage and by the amount of glucose released from the samples
The data represent mean values and standard deviation from 3 to 4 biological replicates. Asterisks denote significant differences analyzed by one-way ANOVA (Tukey’s HSD, P < 0.05)
